Inspired by Dolly Alderton in her book, “Everything I know about love”. See Part 1/2 here. Nice guys are hard to come by. If you spend the entirety of your teenage years in one long-term committed relationship, by the time you turn 21 you won’t know how to talk to, or flirt with, a boy…

“Tinder Like a Man,” He Said
Following another failed attempt at dating, I decided I need to change my tac (doesn’t this sound familiar..?) “I’m giving up on dating apps!” I exclaim to my friends on more than one occasion this summer. “They’re full of guys who just want a quick shag.

Â Frequently, I considered how inappropriate it felt to be swiping whilst inserted with cannulas and drainage tubes and with morphine surging around my body, but then I remembered how bored I was, how rubbish daytime T.V. is…
It’s Been a Long, Hot Summer
Sorry for the silence over the last few months. This is because I found him! Prince Charming exists! Â And he spends a lot of time in my bed… As summer comes to an end and working life resumes, I realise this guy I was going to have a casual, no-strings-attached fling with is anything but…
